Book Review: "The Sirens of Mars"

Book Review: “The Sirens of Mars: Searching For Life On Another World” by Sarah Stewart Johnson
“We humans just landed yet another rover on Mars. As has been the case for decades, each mission to Mars builds upon the successes and failures of those that preceded it. And each mission seeks to ask more profound questions that its predecessors. The Perseverance rover is now unpacking itself and preparing to explore Jezero crater – a mobile astrobiologist in search of evidence that Mars may have once harbored life.
How we got the point where we can send complex droids to Mars was not easy. It all started with people looking through telescopes – often with overactive imaginations. That led to spacecraft barely more sophisticated than a toaster with a shortwave radio which shattered many of those earlier preconceptions. Those early missions blazed a trail of ever increasing complexity and sophistication.”
